B82 treatment increased the expression of cleaved-PARP, P53, and Bax. Method: H460 cells were treated with B82 at the indicated concentrations for 24 h, and then were harvested for protein extraction. The protein levels of cleaved-PARP, P53, and Bax were detected by western blot analysis using antibodies from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA). Representative western blots were shown from three independent experiments. References: 1.
